- WORKFORCE & YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
- HEALTH

For thirty
years, as a small community-based nonprofit, Pin Points Theatre has
provided jobs, job training, health, and performing arts programs in some of
D.C.'s most challenging communities, taking these productions to 37 states and 9 countries. Whether we're in prisons
or major theaters; in auditoriums or multi-purpose rooms, Pin Points remains
true to its mantra: "More than just
a theater company."

SOUL OF LANGSTONtakes you on a
dramatic journey through Langston Hughes's life, his rage, his triumphs, and his
vast contributions; an emotional Langston like you've never seen before. Teacher
Guides and writers workshops are available as a supplement this one-man
play.

THE MEETING answers the question,
"What would have happened if Martin Luther King and Malcolm X had met before
they were both assassinated just three years
apart." It is an emotional, clever, and intense confrontation between
Malcolm X, his hostile bodyguard, and Martin Luther King. This award-winning
drama (eight NAACP Theater Awards and six NY AUDELCO nominations) gives
surprising information about these leaders, the times, their relentless wit and
humor, and their unwavering commitment to human rights.

AYANNA
GREGORY,
daughter of Dick Gregory, in her one-woman show "DAUGHTER OF THE
STRUGGLE" dramatizes the universal impact of Martin Luther King, the Civil
Rights movement, Dick Gregory and the Gregory family: Funny, poignant, and
enlightening!
Ms. Gregory also
conducts Real-Talk sessions to counsel "at-hope" youth, providing one-on-one
solutions and resources to address troubling issues in each young person's life.

Report.

HOOKED ON
LOVE iscertainly our funniest show: A play
performed by a male-female singing comedy team gives hilarious insight into a
complex answer to a serious question: How do men and women get
along? The couple also performs pure standup routines as
well.

WORKFORCE and YOUTH
DEVELOPMENT:

In partnership with HIGHER
HOPES, Pin Points serves youth with electronic ankle
bracelets while others have book bags; still others, severe reading
deficiencies. It doesn't matter. Our program is effective in its simplicity:
We take the
time to develop relationships with youth then show them options. Young folks
don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. It's the
reason none of our youth have been charged for a crime committed during
the months they are under our care. Ultimately, we
work with youth to redefine "cool" as taught by the father of the REDEFINING
COOL movement, Dr. Bruce Purnell. Ourlife-coaching, GED, tutoring, job
training, jobs, and arts programs have been supported by Youth
Rehabilitation Services, UPO, Children & Youth Investment Trust Corp.,
Progressive Life Center., Dept. of Employment, and the DC Commission on the
Arts. For youth with learning disabilities: www.efmeducation.comStudent-made video:

HEALTH:

Established
by the BeeHives Training Program (www.thebeehives.org), Pin Points's
Medical Missionary Certification program
teaches the "Eight Laws" of evidence-based,
science-based and God-based remedies. For clinical proof and practice, students
restore the health of ailing friends or family members within the 7 weeks of
the course. For a peek into just one Law, nutritherapy, click here: Multiple Sclerosis and CancerFor even more
